Engraved gifts for guys | Engraved Gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk

25 June 2009

When it comes to the special people in your lives, you want to go the extra mile when it comes to important celebrations - birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and Christmas for example. There are also those one-off milestones to celebrate - things like passing a driving test, graduating from university or maybe completing a marathon (or local 5k walk!) to mark!

Ironically with so much choice now available in the shops and online, it seems to be getting almost more difficult to pick those perfect gifts! Firstly there's the worry that you will buy the same gift as another friend or relative...then there's the worry that you'll buy something unsuitable that he simply won't like - and of course there's also the question of whether you get something that's a novelty or more disposable gift - or be more eco-conscious and pick something that will last. The trend nowadays is definitely to go for gifts that have the emphasis on quality and being designed to last. After all, the disposable and novelty gifts of the past tended to be simply relegated to the bin or the charity bag once the joke had quickly worn off! With the credit crunch also in full swing it makes sense to make your money go further and buy special gifts that are made to be treasured and enjoyed for many years to come - particularly if they are gifts for marking a special occasion.

One increasingly popular line of gifts is that of engraved gifts. These used to be reserved for fairly formal occasions such as retirement presents or sporting achievement plaques - but increasingly the ancient art of engraving personalised messages onto quality commemorative items is being popular once again - and used to great effect with modern and more unusual items. You no longer simply have the option of engraving a watch or a plaque - you can now engrave anything from silver wine glasses to a 'my last Rolo' for the special man in your life!

Make like Henry VIII with the Engraved Pewter Tankard!
If he enjoys lording it up around the home - and the odd pint of fine ale of an evening, then a great example of drink related engraved gifts would be the pewter tankard - a half pint tankard engraved with his name and a special message and designed to be treasured for many years to come. These type of engraved gifts are great because they combine something commemorative, with a functional gift that will bring a lot of enjoyment - and in this case no doubt carry a lot of beer and ale! The tankard measures around 9.5cm high and has space for a message of 50 characters, which will personalise it just for the man in your life and make sure that no one else appropriates it! Engraved gifts like these would be ideal for those 'one to mark' occasions where a tipple is called for - perhaps a Christening, anniversary or wedding.

Fashion gets personal with the Engraved Square Diamond Design Cufflinks
If the man in your life is a bit of a style guru, and never goes to work without a good suit on and the best shoes available (or at least irons his shirt before wearing it, and avoids sporting trainers to the office...) then why not give him a really unique present that celebrates his commitment to style! Engraved gifts such as the Engraved Square Diamond Design Cufflinks are ideal for a special personalised present and will bring a really sharp edge to his suits and shirts. They are luxurious and high quality cufflinks which will come engraved with the initials you select - and they feature a beautiful square cut with a diamond design. These would be great for a birthday or special anniversary, and each of the sets comes presented in a gift box, which marks these engraved gifts out as being a little bit special!

If these engraved gifts have given you some ideas then have a look at the huge range of things now available in the shops and online. The great thing about the online retailers is that they tend to offer a far wider catalogue of engraved gifts and other presents than if you were looking in a high street store - and the beauty is that you can type in your personalised message or initials when ordering your engraved gifts and have them delivered directly to your door in discreet packaging - so that you won't risk him diving into your shopping bags when you return from a day's present shopping, and find your carefully chosen gifts before you get a chance to present them! Have fun putting a smile on his face, on his special day!
